1992-1993 Upper Deck Basketball: Not a favorite Upper Deck design of mine but this pack did have some All-Star Game cards with actual game photos which I love. Not only that but the GOAT was on one of them with John Stockton, Hakeem, Karl Malone, Dan Majerle, and Sean Elliott making an appearance. Great photo and card.
Trail Blazers great Clyde Drexler including MJ watching him score in the All-Star Game. Jordan was not a fan of Drexler so he could not be happy about that.
The base card pull wasn't anything special. Where is the team logo? How hard is it? There's plenty of room and would have given the cards a better look. This pack was one of five I purchased off eBay from different older sets. Found a buyer with good variety for single packs and for a the price of a few blasters I was able to get some packs I wanted.
The other Grant brother on this insert (Harvey). It has an artsy feel to it which is okay. Lloyd Daniels had a promising first year with San Antonio but drugs derailed any chance of success he had.
Jay Humphries really had a solid career. I don't why but I always liked Frank Brickowski. Maybe it was that last name. Fun pack of cards. Kevin Johnson on one of those great Upper Deck art cards is a nice way to finish this up.

I was so overwhelmed with hoarding 91/92 UD basketball... I missed the boat on Shaq and 92/93 UD basketball.
ReplyDelete91-92 UD is so classic. love that set!
DeleteI liked 93-94 UD a lot more, but there's some good ones here. Love that Jordan East All-Star.
ReplyDeleteSome goodness here. Just not as fun as other UD basketball sets.
DeleteEarly to mid 1990s basketball cards are some of my favorites for that sport. At that time in my life, I was a big professional basketball fan. That MJ is nothing less than awesome looking!
ReplyDeleteIt is a great looking card. That era had some fun sets for sure.
DeleteLike you, it's not my favorite design. And I didn't care too much for all of the subsets either. But, I do still have a lot of nostalgia for the set, and probably always will.
ReplyDeleteHard not to. So many great players and as a big fan of the sport these guys have so many memories attached to them.
